Jamaica Bid for U17 Championship
Jamaica's bid to host next February's CONCACAF Under-17 Football Championship officially went into motion yesterday when the federation's general secretary, Ted Howard, toured and inspected three venues in western Jamaica.
"We are keeping our fingers crossed that we will be selected," said Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) president Captain Horace Burrell, who, along with Howard, flew by helicopter into western Jamaica. "Hosting such a tournament would do a whole lot for our youth programme," Captain Burrell added.
The three venues visited were Jarrett Park, the new Catherine Hall Stadium in Montego Bay and the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium at Florence Hall, near Falmouth, Trelawny.
While Howard did not say whether his report about the local facilities will be favourable, he nonetheless pointed out that countries such as Honduras, Costa Rica, Canada and the United States are also bidding to play host to the tournament, which is one of the premier events on CONCACAF's calendar.
